Re: RELEASED! Yari & Teppo (MAJOR Pike & Shot Japanese mod)
Just tried an iPad (Air) skirmish game against the AI. So far the mod seems to work pretty well.

Re: Pike and Shot suggestions
I suspect the Japanese defeat against Korea was largely similar in cause to their defeat in 1945. After a very good start, once the opposing forces included powers with greater population, greater economic resources and a willingness to continue the war through to victory, Japanese defeat was only a...

Re: What about the Great Northern War?
There's also the later 17th century Dutch wars, James II's attempt to keep his throne firstly against Monmouth then against William of Orange and the British parliament. Stuart family get-togethers must have been great fun, considering James' daughter and son-in-law were quite happy to pop over the ...

Ipad frequent crashes.
I'm getting very frequent crashes, often after playing a few turns of a mission and once in a while at other points as well. The crashes are most frequent on clicking to move to next turn. Some are when a unit is moved or ordered to fire. These are less frequent but once one happens they seem to kee...

Re: Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon is releasing today on iPad!
But that mean that you can just purchase the package for iPad and not for PC... Not that nice... Complain to Apple, they run the iOS app store and as far as I know there's no mechanism possible to buy a game as an iOS and PC (or even Mac) bundle. The plus side is that because iOS can only install f...

Re: Warhammer 40,000 Armageddon - 1.08a Hotfix
The iOS version crashes and sometimes won't move on when deployment is ended as well.
I assume the patch is also being sent to Apple for the app store (whenever Apple get roujd to making it available)?

Re: Kiels charging cavalry
The Swiss were reputed to charge cavalry on occasion. In game terms I suspect the ability is there as much as anything to prevent a player blocking opposing kiels from moving simply by sticking some horse in the way that the pikes can't do a thing about. As for the Swiss pursuing cavalry, well, they...

Re: Pike & Shot or Battle Academy for iPad?
From a playing against the AI point of view, the AI in BA2 is pretty good and can come up with some surprises, though generally beatable once you get the hang of the required tactics. The AI in Pike & Shot can be quite merciless, especially in some of the historical scenarios, and can provide a ...

Re: Pike and Shot suggestions
The Ai is particulary good at this! Isn't it just. I'm sure I've actually seen the AI manoeuvre units ready in anticipation to hit one of mine in flank and rear when it wins a melee and pursues. If I've a gripe with P&S it's over pursuit. The tendency of units to go racing into the midst of the...

Re: Pike and Shot suggestions
I don't think Vietnam War ammunition usage/casualty rates are much help at all in the 16th and 17th century. Far too many changes in military technology and consequently tactics for any meaningful comparison. As for trying to intimidate the enemy, blocks of thousands of oncoming merciless Swiss, adv...

Re: Pike and Shot suggestions
OK, so what do we know for certain? Firearms were considerably more expensive than bows. Gunpowder required a manufactury production system and there was no way you could make gunpowder "in the field" because of the raw materials required. Yet pretty much every organised state whose infant...

Re: Unit differentiation?
Personally I'd like to see more variation in the coat colours of P&S armies. The 16th century Swiss and Landsknechts went in for all kinds of finery and Thirty Years War armies tended to get scruffier and scruffier as time went on and money ran out until by the 1640s pretty much everyone but the...

Re: Pike and Shot suggestions
Interesting discussion. On the subject of the demise of the English longbow, one thing that's rarely mentioned is the difficulty of ammunition supply. To keep the 14th and 15th century English armies in France supplied with arrows firstly required a huge agricultural, manufacturing and logistical ef...

Re: A plea for commanders

Its generals halloping hither and thither spreading their personal influence I have less enthusiasm for. Especially as far from all armies were tied to the W...
